The award-winning international pop dance artist attains success on Billboard charts and recognition from online radio and media with 11:11 City of Love album.

SAN DIEGO, CA – 12/20/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) — The recent release of 11:11 City of Love has gained pop dance female vocalist/recording artist Shakila much notoriety on the Internet and beyond. In Week #1 2016, she hit the top 200 Billboard chart. That was back in January. Since then, Shakila has been featured as a top artist on GrammyAmplifier.com (over 10K votes in less than a week) and was a Global Music Awards Fan Favorites winner. The album has also been selected by Pandora Radio for streaming.

Shakila uses her powerful yet soothing voice to deliver the message that love has a healing power that can foster peace and make the world a better place. The effort has led to her winning accolades such as the Akademia Music Award (Pop/Dance category) for the song When I Close My Eyes. In addition, the album was recently submitted for a Grammy consideration and received two Hollywood Media Award nominations, including one in the AAA/Adult Contemporary genre.

In addition to awards, 11:11 has received many high reviews. It has been written up by Zonemusic Reporter, Soundlook Magazine, Professional Label, and Famous Jamsphere Magazine. Also, it was featured on Play and Pause Magazine as a new release submitted by ReverbNation.

The album 11:11 features songs such as City of Love that showcases her clear vibrato, and If You Distance Yourself in which Shakila gets raw and edgy. From the Indian sounds of Na Tum Harmien Jaano to the new world vibe of Power of Now!, she spans a wide range of sounds that explore the impressive range of her voice, whether the mood calls for a whisper or fully open and fresh burst of sound. Listeners can also get down with the groove that tracks such as Pledge for Peace and When I Close My Eyes are set to.

Shakila, an international award winning artist, has been performing for audiences since the age of nine. Her exposure to the public began early. Performing on a television show at ripe young gage, she went on to focus on talent shows and competitions at school to hone her talent. By 1990, Shakila was performing as a professional, and released her first Persian hit album that year. Poetic lyrics are filled with metaphors and are delivered through an emotional vocal ability that connects people with the music in exciting ways.

Since the beginning, Shakila has released more than 20 albums and her first English-language world-music album in 2015. She released multiple singles in 2012 and has millions of followers around the globe.
